Münster, May 6, 2008 – United Labels AG (ISIN: DE 0005489561), a company
specialising in comicware sold under licence, achieved consolidated revenue
growth of 5.2% in the first quarter of 2008, taking this figure to EUR 9.9
million (prev. year: EUR 9.4 million). Additionally, EBIT improved to EUR
0.3 million (prev. year: EUR 0.2 million) and net profit for the period
rose to EUR 0.1 million (prev. year: EUR 0.0 million).

Revenue growth was attributable mainly to positive developments within the
Key Account segment.
In this segment revenue rose to EUR 7 million (prev. year: EUR 6.6
million). As was the case in the same period a year ago, earnings amounted
to EUR 1.1 million. HoT, a company newly established in 2007 and focusing
solely on the hosiery market, was able to contribute to the favourable
business performance of this segment.
The Special Retail segment achieved a slight increase in revenue, taking it
to EUR 2.9 million. At EUR 0.2 million, earnings within this segment
remained unchanged year on year.

The business performance of the company's foreign subsidiaries in Spain and
Italy was also encouraging. While revenue generated in Spain increased by
13.6% to EUR 2.5 million (prev. year: EUR 2.2 million) and EBIT rose to EUR
0.1 million (prev. year: EUR -0.1 million), revenue growth in Italy stood
at 33.3%, taking the figure to EUR 0.4 million (prev. year: EUR 0.3
million).

United Labels AG will be holding its 8th Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders in Münster on May 20, 2008. As in the previous financial year,
the Management Board will put forward a proposal for a dividend payment of
EUR 0.20 per share.
